Corn fritters fast and furious

Its been a bit miserable in our home the last couple of days with husband sick with a cold. So Ive been cooking him nice food to keep his stomach happy at least.  This morning I made him corn fritters with spinach, bacon, roast tomatoes and salsa. It was very much a case of what I had in the pantry. 

Ingredients

Corn fritters

150g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 x eggs
1 x can of extra sweet corn kernels
1 x onion chopped
2 teaspoons coriander flakes or a handful of fresh coriander chopped
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
seas salt and pepper
vegetable oil

Roast tomatos

2 x large tomatos - roma or juicy heirloom if you can get it if not some vine ones would be good
sea salt and pepper
sprinkle of dried herbs - I used thyme
splash of olive oil

Salsa - I used a store bought tomato salsa today but a fresh one is great too. Add half an avocado with a splash of olive oil and salt and pepper and bacon ..yumm

Heat your oven to 180 C and halve the tomatoes. Put in a small one dish and sprinkle on salt pepper and herbs. Drizzle over the olive oil and put in the oven to cook for 20 mins.

So basically I didn't feel like chopping and mixing etc (yes was feeling slightly lazy) so I drained the corn and put 3/4 in a food processor with all the other ingredients and whizzed away till combined. I then threw in the rest of the corn.

I heated a small pan to medium high and added a tablespoon of vege oil. I put some batter in the pan to the size I wanted and cooked a couple of minutes. Make sure to check as these fritters can burn if not watching. Turn over and cook for a further couple of minutes. If your worried that the inside isn't cooked enough (but don't want to burn the outside) put in the oven with the tomatoes and let the fritter finish in the oven for 5 mins.

Cook the bacon and drain on a kitchen towel. Have the baby spinach leaves washed and drained ready to go. Fry an egg if you want to place it on top too.

Once everything is ready stack the fritters, bacon, spinach and salsa until its the height you want. Then place the egg on top if using. Place the roasted tomatoes and the avocado half on the side and season with salt and pepper. 

Enjoy :)
